$25 for a salad at lunch is a little pricey, but it was delicious and a decent size. My dining partner was late and the server was very patient and chill about it. The restaurant was very quiet which was a huge plus. I would return.

Impeccable service with a smile from everyone. A very relaxed atmosphere. The food taste was incredible. My only complaint was that the portions were a little small. I had a fantastic coconut rice and needed more of it to enjoy with the great seafood assortment served with it. Overall, a great experience.
